This curricular unit intends to provide students with theoretical knowledge regarding the formulation of questions and interpretation of patients' answers in the light of traditional Chinese medicine. In this way the concepts will be exposed to students in theoretical classes. However, the practice of classroom interviewing is fundamental, simulating the stage context and the actual work context (Role Play and Role Reversal). In this way the theoretical-practical classes will be fundamental. The evaluation will be made using a frequency and a practical evaluation consisting of the presentation of a video with a maximum duration of 5 minutes depicting a hypothetical interview, together with a critical self-reflection observation grid, which includes the identification of the strengths of performance, the skills to be improved and the strategies planned to develop them.
